The other day I was driving along a beautiful two lane highway winding majestically through the Ozark Mountains. It was late in the evening so I decided to stop and get gas before I continued on my journey. While I was there the opportunity arose for me to speak briefly with a deputy who was waiting on his bride to complete her work day inside. I asked him if he had heard about the PBA, he said he had not. As I talked with him, his interest peaked about the opportunities the PBA has for him and his family......(1/22/09) On January 22, 2009 The AR division of the SSPBA held its second annual “PBA Day at the Capital”.

I Joined the PBA For Peace of Mind
I joined the PBA for
peace of mind. In today's time you never know what might
happen. I now know there is someone on my side when I need
it. I also find it comforting knowing there is no limit to
the help I will receive. Another benefit is having an area
chapter made up of fellow officers from my area. I have met
several officers that I probably would have not met
otherwise.

investigator for a sheriffs department in eastern Arkansas.
We took down three or four “chop shops” where the operators
were involved in the meth trade, body swings and altering
VIN numbers on stolen late-model.....

we formed our own chapter. These meetings seemed different.....
